Did Dragons Ever Exist? | Story Of The Dragon | The Dr Binocs Show | Peekaboo Kidz

foreign hey little kitty may I know which is your favorite animal [Music] oh I'm not sure if we can count them as real animals well that's a topic of debate and you know what that's also the topic of today's episode so let us look into the mythology of these mystical creatures by answering a mysterious question did dragons ever exist zoom in I'm sure there aren't any magical creatures more popular than the fire-breathing bat-winged ferocious dragons these Tales have been widespread in many cultures since ancient times and even today we can see their depictions in movies like Harry Potter Lord of the Rings and many Disney films so no wonder all these portrayals make us Ponder on the truth about their existence well to cut the story short so far we haven't found any evidence of real dragons that lived in dark caves or dense forests instead the only place they seem to exist is in our minds due to the Legends and stories we have been hearing from our ancestors of which the European and Chinese are the most popular ones that illustrate these creatures a bit differently yes the European Dragon tends to be a reptilian creature that could breathe fire and had lizard-like legs wolf-like bodies horns and bat-like wings that helps them fly while the Chinese version of dragons has long Serpentine bodies or elongated necks pretty much snake-like with no wings though there is some visual difference in the Western and Eastern appearance of dragons it is still quite baffling to think how different cultures located so far away from each other portray a creature with so many other similarities does that mean dragons could have actually existed well experts believe that these Legends would have emerged due to the real dragon-like creatures that once lived on earth yes there are chances that the ancient people may have come across the bones of giant dinosaurs and thought of them as dragons or even the giant Nile crocodile who would have swam all the way to the shores of Europe might have inspired the creation of dragons or best the giant snakes may have illuminated the imagination of people to make fictional stories around them but one theory states that it's not curious minds but the fearful ones that could have created these mystical creatures yes Anthropologist David E Jones suggests that the Primal Fear of predators such as big cats Bulls snakes and Eagles generated the dragon myth according to him the Primal Fear could have been passed along to humans through Evolution even today studies of velvet monkeys reveal that they are especially terrified of this particular Predators namely Lions Eagles and snakes and make specific cries whenever they spot these predators so it's not hard to imagine our fearful ancestors merging the body of a snake but something as Fierce as a lion adding on the capacity to Fly Like an Eagle to get a dragon and passing this image through storytelling so in conclusion dragons are nothing but a figment of our imagination and fears which will continue to Mesmerize people for centuries to come trivia time did you know the word Dragon comes from the ancient Greek word draconta which means to watch [Music] yes the name suggests dragons are often associated with great Treasures that they guard against treasure Hunters hope you learned something new today until next time it's me Dr binox zooming out exist never mind
